comments as will, We hope, help to
make it clear. The plan should be
read aud thoroughly discussed so that
there may be no misunderstanding
when the time comes to act under it..
Every one knows that the only cOndi-
ton required to insure republican sue
cess i'm Allen county is that a ticket be
nominated which will command united
republican support. Under q plan
which gives every republican an oppor-
tunlty to express his preference, it
would certainly seem that q satisfac-
tory ticket ought to be nominated.
From the Fulton County (IlD DEM
ocrdt which some friend kindly sends
US we clip the following.
Such prolonged intense heat as that of the
| past two weeks was never before known in this
section: Day after day the mercury has climb
ed to 100 degrees or over The drcuth certain
| though there have been those more extended
The dust never before was 30 deep and all per-
vading: The meadows never before were so
parched. Water was never before SO scarce,
| Our farmers were never before so hedged about
| with imminent loss and danger from their par
ched surroundings. Hogs are being marketed
driven long distances for food and water Corn
| Is being cut up, half grown, to prevent its he
| ing burned up, and because of food famine for
| stock. All in all it looks more like the opening
chorus of Persian famine than anyth ing vet
| down in our cOuntry's history.
We again venture to announce with
fear and trembling) that the proprietor
of the Pennsylvania Central expects to
begin at once the erection of a new
building. Owing to circumstances
over which we have had no control,
we have had hard luck with this an
nouncement heretofore: but it really
looks now as though it would stand.
Mr.. Fishers plan is to remove the old
part of the present building and erect
in its place twO-story structure, 2Sx66.
This will be practically three stories
high as it will have 9-foot basement
which will be used as q kitchen. We
withhold further comment until work
is actually begun.
The drouth continues in the central
and northwestern States and the re-
ports of distress OccasiOned by 1t are
heart rending. We haven't room to
insert the dispatches in full but the fol.
lowing head lines clipped from yester-
days Times will give some idea of
their contents: "FOod for fires" 1.-THE
entire northwest in danger" ;'Forests
and meadows in flames i'm every direc-
tion," Michigan especially exposed to
the dread element" Wisconsin threat
ened with vast conflagrations,n 1.-THE
suburbs of Chicago in constant danger
Of destruction by fire." ga Michigan
town i'm ashes"
In order to show that Allen county
is not a baked and barren desert, the
Live Hardware will give two premiums
for the best and second best half dozen
ears of corn that are brought into their
September. The first premium will be
a set of crystal handled knives and
forks and the second will be the choice
of pocket knives valued at Sl.5O. The
prizes will be awarded September IL,
by committee of disinterested farm
ers. 1t is requested that samples be
brought in early.
BY reference to the meeting of the
executive committee of the Horticul.
tural Society it will be seen that it has
been determined to hold Fair and
Stock Show at Freeman's Grove, Sep
TENDER Is and 16. Now that the date
has been determined upon we hope the
farmers, gardeners and stock raisers in
all parts of the county will take hold
with vim and make the Fair a grand
success. Let the meeting called for
Saturday, the Goth, be fully attended
and an organization formed that will
be of permanent interest and value to
the county.

The above notice appears
in the Pasadena Daily Star,

also resident of lola for a short time,
working at his trade of shOemaking
with Mr.. Schliesmayer. He went to
Pasadena some months ago. The
REGISTER watts congratulations to the
happy couple.

We understand that great deal of
hay has been cold in the field to press
men for $500 ton. 1t is certainly bad
economy to sell hay at this price If it
can be avoided. 1t is the universal
judgment of all with whom we have
talked that feed of all kinds will COM
mand higher price this fall than it
has for years. One of our exchanges |
thinks hay will be worth so ton be-
fore spring.
The Live Hardware firm tell us that |
if they had assurnce that any consid-
cradle quantity of hay could be bought |
they know press tnat would be set |
up here at once. We would suggest |
that all those having hay to sell would |
report at the Live Hardware during |
the Coming week. We would like to |
see press at work here.
Jas A. Davis, who is on the jury
from Deer Creek township, tells us
that his corn is still green and that he
will have the biggest crop he has ever
raised. He says, too, that his prairie
hay is heavier than it has ever been,
yielding nearly two tons to the acre.
Mr.. Davis has the good luck to live in
the streak where the rain fell.
A new time card will go into effect
